Gu Xuan was speechless upon hearing this.
"Forget it, 500 million per piece, I can't afford it."
Although he had a lot of reputation, one stone cost 500 million reputation, which was beyond Gu Xuan's means, while the price of this deep-sea ore was only 100,000 per stone.
Although the odds are low, even a one in ten thousand chance, it is still possible.
Gu Xuan did not want to buy it directly.
However, seeing that I still had five left, I gave up the idea of buying more.
"Never mind, I still have five on hand. I can buy more when I need them later."
Immediately afterwards, Gu Xuan put the Ocean Tear Deep Sea Pearl into his system space.
Let's move on to the second item.
"Deep-sea heavy copper ore is heavy copper that has been crushed by extreme pressure in the deep sea at a depth of 10,000 meters. Its density is hundreds of times higher than that of existing copper ore, and its weight is dozens of times that of existing copper ore for the same volume. Its hardness also exceeds that of steel. However, due to its special location, it can only be obtained through the system."
After reading the introduction.
"Right now, it's just a copper mine."
The system's voice came through.
"Yes."
Receive it.
Gu Xuan asked curiously.
"This is in the deep sea, at a depth of 10,000 meters. Such a place is unlikely to be in the ocean."
The system's voice came again.
"Host, you forgot the last sentence of the introduction."
Gu Xuan continued reading the introduction.
"I know the location is special. Isn't it in the deep sea at a depth of 10,000 meters? There's no seabed of 10,000 meters around here. It must be in a special location."
The system explained again.
“Host, there’s another explanation for this special location: it doesn’t actually exist on this planet.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Xuan was completely shocked.
"There's another way to say that."
"Yes."
Gu Xuan realized what was happening.
"That means this deep-sea heavy copper mine isn't on this planet, but on another planet."
"Yes."
Even after receiving an affirmative answer, Gu Xuan was still somewhat skeptical.
"This can't be real, can it?"
"It's true."
Gu Xuan frowned.
"That means from now on, we can only obtain it through you."
"Yes."
"Then what's the difference between this and you not giving it to me at all?"
The system continued its explanation.
"There is a big difference. The location of this heavy copper mine is special. If it were to appear on this planet rashly, it would cause trouble for this planet. Therefore, it can only be placed on its original planet. However, since you have obtained the mining rights, you will not need to spend reputation points to purchase it in the future. You will only need to spend a little reputation points to transport it."
After hearing the system's explanation, Gu Xuan understood.
He then nodded.
"I see. Then I can get some now."
"Yes."
"What you get is still ore."
"Yes."
Gu Xuan then said.
"Then get me a piece of ore to look at first."
"Okay, host."
After deducting ten reputation points, the system directly gave Gu Xuan a piece of ore and placed it in the system space.
Gu Xuan glanced at it; the ore wasn't very big and had an irregular shape.
Gu Xuan frowned slightly as he looked at the reputation points deducted.
"System, this piece of ore costs me ten reputation points. If I want to get more, do I need more?"
The system's voice came through.
"Host, teleportation is charged per session, but there are limits on the volume and weight of each teleportation. Currently, the maximum weight that can be teleported at one time is ten tons. Teleporting ten tons requires ten reputation points. If it exceeds ten tons, it will require two teleportations."
He nodded after listening.
"I understand now."
Knowing the rules makes it clear that there's nothing wrong with the price of this transfer.
Then from the system space.
Take out the obtained ore.
You can feel how heavy this deep-sea copper is just by holding it in your hand.
It has a dark gold color throughout.
"This is just a piece bigger than a fist, yet it's so heavy. Such heavy copper must be rarely used."
The system explained again.
"This heavy copper has a very high density. For example, the copper wire used for power transmission is currently 10 centimeters in diameter. If we use deep-sea heavy copper, the copper wire would only need to be twice the thickness of a human hair to transmit the power."
Upon hearing this explanation, Gu Xuan's eyes widened as he stared at the system.
"No way, that's strong."
"Yes, host."
"According to what you're saying, is there any connection between this and the superconductivity research we're doing now?"
The system continued its explanation.
"No, that's not the case. This deep-sea heavy copper only has better conductivity, but it still suffers significant losses over long distances, just like ordinary copper wire."
Gu Xuan nodded.
Then a possibility came to mind.
"What if we use this deep-sea heavy copper to study superconductivity?"
The reason for asking this question is that this technology is still under research.
Moreover, it's something the government desperately needs.
The system's voice came again.
"The system is not aware of this; you will need to investigate it yourselves."
Gu Xuan was not surprised.
After all, this isn't a technical system.
"Then we need to hand over a portion of this item so that the authorities can study it."
With that thought in mind, Gu Xuan put the items into his system space.
At this moment, Gu Xuan did not rush to buy more treasure chests.
Instead, he fell into deep thought.
"If we really give it to the government, how should we explain it to them?"
Explaining the existence of something like this would be very complicated.
Gu Xuan must first ensure that this matter is handled perfectly before handing the items over to the authorities.
I thought about it carefully for a while but still couldn't find an answer.
Then I consulted the system.
"System, do you have a good explanation?"
The system's voice came through.
"The host can be said to be created by himself."
Gu Xuan frowned slightly.
“I’ve thought about it, but this method won’t work. What if they ask me to hand over their production method?”
"The host can spend 100 million reputation points to purchase its production method."
Gu Xuan was slightly taken aback upon hearing the system's words.
"No, this thing can actually be made."
The system explained.
"It can be made, but the finished product will only achieve one-fifth of the effect and weight of the heavy copper you obtained."
Gu Xuan nodded.
"That is, a stripped-down version."
"Yes, achieving one-fifth is the best result, but it's also the most expensive. Lowering the effect would yield better results than with the current materials."
"What's the lowest possible reduction?"
"One percent, that depends on the usage scenario and the effect of use."
Gu Xuan was thinking seriously.
"One percent, that's actually only slightly better than copper now."
"Yes, host, even the lowest level of effectiveness is much better than what we have now."
"I understand now. Then I'll buy the production method and recipe."
"Okay, host."
One hundred million reputation points were deducted here, and the recipe and production method were placed in the system space.
Gu Xuan took it out and glanced at it.
"The record is very detailed, which is good."
The instructions are very detailed and require certain special equipment, all of which are provided by the official website.
I glanced at it and then put it away.
